The heartbroken sister of a Gillingham man who died in a road crash, has paid tribute him.

John Perkins, 42, of King Edward Road, died on Sunday, January 18, after losing control of the black Peugeot 306 he was driving along Rochester Road, between Cuxton and Snodland.

John, a father of three daughters and grandfather to three grandchildren, is said to have loved motorbikes and lived his life to the full.

His sister, Tracey Edwards, said: “John loved his motorbikes and lived life to the full, but always on the edge.

“He was an easy person to get along with and was admired by his friends.

“He has left us with good memories, his middle daughter told me that he was her hero and all of his family and everyone who knew hom will miss him.
